Vintage Shino Glazed Brushwork Bowl
by Malcolm Wright (Signed)

Description:
A striking Shino-glazed stoneware bowl featuring bold, expressive floral brushwork in rich iron oxide along its exterior. The vessel showcases Wright’s mastery of spontaneous yet controlled decoration, with the creamy Shino glaze pooling subtly around the rim. Signed on the base by the artist. In excellent vintage condition, with minor surface wear that enhances its character.

Dimensions:
2.75”H x 4.75”D (7 cm x 12 cm)

Malcolm Wright (b. 1939) is an American ceramic artist whose work bridged Japanese functional pottery and Western modernism. Born in Minnesota, he earned a BA from Marlboro College and an MFA from George Washington University before apprenticing under Tarouemon Nakazato XII, a 12th-generation Living National Treasure in Karatsu, Japan. This experience deeply influenced his approach to form and material.

Wright's early interest in Cubism and Constructivism later reemerged, blending with Japanese aesthetics to create works that balanced minimalism with tactile warmth. His ceramics explored the dialogue between maker and material, often focusing on how a pot feels in the hand or interacts with light. While rooted in traditional wheel-thrown forms, he also experimented with abstract, extruded shapes that blurred the line between vessel and sculpture.

Legacy & Collections

Wright’s ceramics are held in prestigious public collections worldwide, including:

- Smithsonian American Art Museum (Washington, DC)

- Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

- Idemitsu Museum (Tokyo)

- Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art (Kansas City)

- Yale University Art Gallery (New Haven)

- Denver Art Museum (Denver, CO)
